Connecting to Audio/Video equipment

•Be sure to always refer to the instructions that came with the

component that you are connecting.

•Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been

properly made.

•For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the

right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the

left channel, and yellow connectors (marked V) are used for

video connection.

•Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper

connections can result in noise, poor performance, or

damage to the equipment.

•Do not bind audio/video connection cables with power cords

and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the

picture and sound quality.

•The optical digital jacks are all of the shutter-type

construction. Connect an optical cable by first making sure

the cable is oriented correctly and then inserting it into the

jack pushing the shutter lid inwards.
